\nMinnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson<\/a> has been targeted by American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) officials for making personnel decisions which union bosses say is retaliation for the union’s attempts to organize her staff.

\nThere are notable parallels between union "corporate campaigns"<\/a> and the AFSCME’s ongoing PR assault against the Attorney General. Union operatives frequently rely on ugly public slurs to force companies into tacitly accepting coercive membership drives, and these well-honed tactics are being increasingly deployed against public officials.\n<\/p>\n

\nAccording to Swanson, union bosses threatened<\/a> to "place negative stories about her in the press and on Internet blogs if she didn’t support a union for the attorneys."\n<\/p>\n

\nOther employees say<\/a> they’ve suffered intimidation and harassment at the hands of union militants for refusing to support the AFSCME’s membership drive.\n<\/p>\n

\nIt’s sad, but this is what union organizing has become. Help union bosses \u00abrecruit\u00bb new forced dues paying members… or else.\n<\/p>\n
